[PLUG] Backup RPi SD card

[Chuck Hast]

Folks,
I have been looking to setup a backup of a particular RPi that has a
tendency
to corrupt the sd card due to read/write activity during a power loss.

What I want to do is backup the whole image off of the unit to another
machine.

I know how to use dd to create an image of the card. But I would like for
it to
ship it off to another machine so in the event of a corrupt image I can
just to
pull the last good one and put it on a SD card and press on.

I see a lot of recommendations, using dd and rsync but most of them in one
form or another either require you remove the SD card and put it in another
machine or you do not get all of the files you need. So I figure that if I
can just
say at about 2 a.m. start the process and let it capture the image as a
snap-
shot things will be good. But I want the image to be created on another
machine
